Social History 2020

Lancaster University, 29 June – 1 July 2020

The Social History Society’s annual conference is the largest gathering of social and cultural historians in the UK. For more than four decades, our members have transformed historical research, exploring the many ways in which our social worlds are made, imagined, shared and shattered.

The conference is an opportunity to share the results of research with members old and new. The programme will be organised by eight thematic strands, ranging across time and space, from the (pre)medieval to the present.
